Halcyon

I bought BT headphones to get rid of the cable when I'm outside. So now it's rare for me to use the headphone jack. Only when I use the cable headset for work or when I connect my phone to the stereo amp. So maybe once every other week.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Never underestimate the cat overlords.

Almost every info you find on Reddit can be found elsewhere. After all, Reddit is an aggregation machine, but it doesn't produce that much unique content.

Musk's Boring Company was an ill-thought out vanity project that has far too many weaknesses and drawbacks (including too high construction and operating costs) to ever produce any truly usable routes.

I'll never understand how people over the age of 20 seriously can eat at McDonald's/Burger King/KFC.

I liked it too when I was 15 but once I realised how overpriced and underquality it is, I stopped that completely. Only if it really really is the last and only option to get something to eat I would spend any money there.

Yeah I liked the first one most, too, because of the painted style.

Thanks, it's okay for me to be outside of the rankings.

That are all symptoms of said business model. And Hewlett Packard isn't the only company with such abominations.

It's not their printers which are hated, it's their business model of selling overpriced ink and toner cartridges to a price that's higher than champagne prices and using technical devices to make it impossible to use other toner sources, firmware to make printers stop working when ink runs anywhere near low (they define 'low' as 33% ink left), while at the same time ensuring that as much ink and toner as possible are wasted through unnecessary testing and calibration and cleaning processes.

Bluesky being only accessible by members doesn't completely prevent the content from being scraped by bots, though. Bots can be given user access in Bluesky too, and bots can read posts, create own posts and scrape posts and user profiles.

Even those people who have difficulties with imagining something visually can use AI image generators somehow. As long as they can write and understand what a sentence means, they can use any sentence as a prompt to get a calculated image. You don't need any artistic talent or phantasy to get started with creating basic artificial images. That's exactly why artists around the world feel their skills are now being devalued by AI generators.
